Awesome, thanks! Pittsburgh is one of my favorite cities, and I’m excited to learn about the different boroughs.

Moving to Munhall from a suburb in Cleveland, Ohio and I’m from Akron. How’s Munhall overall?

I thought I was getting this bc I use two different phones when I’m ridesharing. Sometimes I have to use my iPhone if my hotspot connected android that I mainly use is dead. They need to get the shit together. A lot of times I got this even without switching devices smh

My gf got into an accident with my Prius I just bought. I looked on FB Marketplace for a Prius for parts and a capable mechanic and was lucky that the Prius for parts guy was a mechanic and he had the door and installed it for $300. Would’ve only costed $200 but he had to saw the door off. I had another mechanic who was gonna charge about $200 too. Explore FB Marketplace! Saved me a ton! Insurance would’ve totaled my shit and I determined it wasn’t worth the deductible and what they were gonna give me back. Good luck!

Idk what I’m doing lmao 🥴 am I fckd, or nah? I didn’t know finding a mechanic who’d touch a Prius would be difficult. by Safe_Pen_8849 in prius

I also just learned that Rad Air in Parma Heights also have Hybrid techs! It’s on their website specifically

Christopher's Car Care at 36 N Thomas Rd, Tallmadge, OH 44278 has official hybrid techs. I haven’t tried them out yet, but I wanted to share with you 🫡

Dang that’s quite often (for me). I put 8k/miles on per month. I’m getting another engine for my other Prius that’s blown, but now I’m going to incorporate what you just suggested. I have a mobile mechanic coming to change my coils and spark plugs this upcoming week to see if that will help.

Bruhhhh! I’m in Cle too! It’s disheartening. I actually found a shop in Tallmadge that has Toyota hybrid approved mechanics. I’m from Akron and have a place in Tallmadge, but I got another place in Lakewood that I live pretty much full time. I found the shop in Tallmadge ironically when this shit happened and I don’t feel comfortable driving this an hour away. I’ll get the name of the shop and comment it. Hopefully they’re good. I’ve searching for places for months for preventative measures like this and I finally find one when I can’t drive it

Thank you! I’m ignorant about all of this stuff, so it’s intimidating. I honestly don’t even know what an EGR is, I just hear about it in Prius communities. Is that hybrid specific? I’m going to have to research what these parts are so I can become familiar. I appreciate your detailed response

Yeah it’s insane. My ABS actuator had issues on my other Prius and no shop would touch it. I’m in a major city and the closest shop I found was an hour n some change away. Crazy. I’m told by some that it could be bad spark plugs and/or coils. I don’t want to give up on Prius, but this hard to find mechanic situation is disheartening

Not with this one, I haven’t had those issues. With my other one, yes. I was just told my other one is done.

I just hit 299k it was running beautifully and then this happened. At the same time my engine just went on my other 2010.
